Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Manufacturing Hollow Artificial Stone Beams or Girders.
Inventor: SIEGWART HANS
Filed: 1905-05-11
Granted: 1905-09-14
Abstract: 9955. Siegwart, H. June 2, 1904, [date applied for under Putents Act, 1901]. Moulding girders and beams.-Hollow artificial stone beams or girders are made in two operations by means of a machine comprising a travelling frame carrying a vertically - adjustable carriage traversing it at rightangles. The frame, which runs on wheels 1, carries sets of girders 4, adjustable by means of the rack 39 and toothed wheels on the brackets 37 which support them. On these girders run the wheels 7 of the carriage 5, toothed wheels 8 also working with racks 9 on the girders. The operation is as follows :- The carriage is adjusted to its lowest working position to form the floor A of the girders, and is then traversed. Sand passes from the hoppers 6 on to conveyer bands 10, and a thin layer of cement, adjustable in depth by means of the plates 46, is then added from the hoppers 43. The materials then fall, with spray from the pipe 13, on to screw rollers 14 and cam-rollers 15, and pass out of the bottom of the hopper 16. The edge 42 levels the layer, the rotating press plate 35 compresses it, and the bar 48 finally smoothes it. The carriage is then taken back to position I, Fig. 3, raised to allow the beams to be formed at their full height, cores inserted and openings 41 uncovered between the hopper 16 and a front hopper 16<b> at the same time, plates 17 are secured to the undercarriage, which, on traversing, divide the mass into separate girders. When the carriage is then traversed, a fresh pipe 40 is turned on and the drum 20 in the front hopper is also rotated. Bars 21 on this drum catch the cement which comes through the openings 41 and throw it violently between the cores, thus forming the walls of the girders, before the top layer is laid down and compressed as before. The motor 22 drives the wheels 7 and drums 11, 20 by worm- and-wheel gearing, friction disks, and driving-bands as shown, and one friction disk 24 drives the crank disk 31 which operates the compressing- plate 35.
